Meaning
'Puss an dog nuh have di same luck' — cat and dog do not share the same luck. Different people meet different fortunes, the proverb observes: what works out for one may not for another, and no two lives run to the same fate. It is offered as a caution against envy and false expectation — do not assume you will get the same outcome as someone else, since each person's luck, gifts, and circumstances differ, and one creature's fortune is not another's.
